Yeah, well, that’s the beginning of time - UNIX wise. Better known as the Epoch date.
Sounds like you need to get moving …

Gary, try installing the NTP client on your Vera.

Vera has no battery backup so it has to relearn the time at each reboot. Looks like the built in rdate sync isn’t working.

after 48 hours the date is correctly set…

don’t ask why or how … :stuck_out_tongue:

i found a way to fix it.

For those who get the same error, force the DNS (Config/net&wifi/manual/advanced) to 8.8.8.8 (google DNS), the u should get the correct date.
